V-0143 Veshmeshok / Daypack in German Desert Fleck camouflage pattern

The Veshmeshok used to be "just" a simple hundred years old Soviet Army backpack worn by millions of Soviet and Russian soldiers and later via the surplus market by Finnish Hipsters. ;-)
It indeed is a simple yet very practical design coming with only one adjustable sling that at the same time closes the bag and serves as shoulder straps. Simply put - the heavier you fill the bag, the more secure the knot gets in holding it.

I decided to "modernize" the concept and give it new live as the "big brother" of the ubiquitous Hipster Bag / Drawstring bag. And a big brother it is, having way more room and a "proper" sling instead of strings. Also, all Veshmeshoks feature an external pocket.

This one comes in a modern European camouflage pattern - the colloquially called "Desert Fleck", in this case printed on uniform fabric and combined and reinforced with the standard "Flecktarn" version. It has an external pocket closed with Velcro with additional Velcro for a patch - delivered with a blank patch - as well as some for a name-tape above the pocket. The 1 in wide carrying sling also comes in Flecktarn pattern as do the four additional straps for external storage. The latter have been equipped with Olive Drab MILSPEC snap-buckles. This Veshmeshok is lined in light-green cotton canvas.

Size: ca. 23 in x 18 in

Like most of my bags this one also comes with a fact sheet detailing the materials used.
